Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
North Wall sits at East Ballina, on the beautiful NSW Northern Rivers coast near Byron Bay. A 4.7 rating from 15 reviews marks it as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely slice of the coast where the river meets the sea — the North Wall breakwater at the Richmond River mouth, a genuine favourite for a walk, a fish, watching the boats and dolphins or simply soaking up the coastal setting in the lovely East Ballina area. It's a lovely, free outing.
Breakwaters and coastal spots have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations, so check current details and take care near the water before you go. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and comfortable shoes.
